Planning Reading and Writing Connections: Building Bridges for Learners, K-6
Cohort Leaders: JoEllen McCarthy and Shawna Coppola
First Meeting: October 29, 2018 at 4:00-5:00 PM EST.
Additional meetings will be scheduled together with cohort members for a total of 5.
Join this online cohort to study methods that help your students build stronger connections between your Reading and Writing workshops!
Members of this yearlong inquiry will study with educators from around the world, led by JoEllen McCarthy, a TheEdCollab Book Ambassador, and Shawna Coppola, Fellow of TheEdCollab and author of Renew!: Become a Better and More Authentic Writing Teacher. How can early readers bring the joy of hearing stories read aloud to their emergent writing? How can older writers not just wait for mentor texts, but begin mentoring themselves from their independent reading? You will create methods, explore strategies, and stay energized throughout the year in the company of this inspiring cohort. In addition to live cohort meetings, all Virtual Think Tank members receive a Full Year Study Series as part of their registration.
